Exclamation MLB Umpires In Fights
Or I should say getting involved in preventing fights, pulling off players, etc.

Is this a Job Requirement? Then why do it?

Since no one has offered one, including you, then seeking is the correct syntax.

Perhaps you should contact MLB and the WUA then to see what official policy is.

What he's seeking is to give training in small minded philosophy. However, if you seek "additional training in small minded philosophy" you'll have to go to your local high school. Here:

Only someone with a six year old's mentality takes one instance out of 50 or more and makes that proof the other 49 were an illusion.
Additional training in small minded philosophy will have to come from your high school. I cannot reach back that far to assist.
Sorry, couldn't hep it.

Bruce, if you keep feeding them, they keep hanging around your front door. Just a reminder.

To a troll, any attention at all is positive reinforcement of their actions and justification for their existance. The quality or direction of the attention is of no consequence. They enjoy being criticized as much as they enjoy posts that agree with them.

In that regard, they are like a sewer. It doesn't matter if they fill up with fresh rainwater or sh!t from a toilet. It all works with them.

What we usually do here is, if behind the plate, we are trained to grab the bat from the batter and start swinging at anyone that comes past the 1st base line.

If we are on the bases, we head for the closest dugout, (whichever one our plate partner doesn't have), grab a bat and cover the other base line.

It works great here!

Can I get the endorsements and merchandising rights for this system? I think you've got yourself a winner!

Were you thinking of the Milton Bradley incident? I never seen the like.

Managers are now up to the task of injuring their own players, no help from the crew needed.

A requirement? No, the evidence being that there is no schooling by PBUC that covers fight control.

Excellent, didn't see the recommendations in my recent PBUC manuals. Could you please post?
